Abba - Dancing Queen ( Live in Sydney - 1977)

Abba - Live in Australia on 3rd March 1977.

On Thursday 3rd March 1977, ABBA performed the first of their 11 concerts in Australia. It was held at the Showground in Sydney as there was no Entertainment Centre in Sydney until 1983, and no other indoor venue that could cater for such a show.

Most would know this was the concert with the rain - as featured in ABBA The Movie. Who can forget that image with all the umbrellas!
Or the image of Frida on her hands and knees after slipping and falling - face down - on that wet slippery stage.

I was in that audience with my little sister on my shoulders and my little brother ( now deceased). It was very exciting, originally we were up the back on the bleachers, then I moved us down to just 20-30 feet from the stage. What an experience, and very expensive for my postman father (deceased too), I was just over 16 years old.. what a memory.

I was there in Sydney when that was happening, the whole city was electrified !!! What a time! Now I’m 81 in 2025 and still listening to this !!!

[Coutinhoallen]

I can never ever get tired of listening to the ABBA music. I was in my teens when first I heard them singing and now I’m 80 years old and still going strong 💪🏽🙏👍💐👏Keep it up ABBA the whole world loves your music 🎶

Dancing Queen is for me without a doubt in the top 10 of songs from the 70"s. Who agrees with me in '25?

[paulsolenick]

Imagine being one of the ABBA group, and producing these great songs at that little hut on an island off the Sweden mainland. That is the definition of international success.

And…I’m transported back to 7th grade - Friday night at the skating rink! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Such joy they are bringing to the audience. This is what pop music is supposed to do.

[BrianColey-xw]

ABBA is one of the best bands/singers of their Still love them today at 81.

[jzutyt]

I won't be here. But if the world is still here in a 100 years this song and group will still be listened to.

[nalinfernando]

Immortal. Their music will live forever

[S.L.A.M.K]

I honestly think that anyone current couldn't touch this live performance. What we're hearing is totally authentic, warts and all. Absolutely zero vocal correction, no post production messing. Just a fantastic line up of brilliant musicians and vocalists, well rehearsed and brimming with personality, dynamics and enjoyment. These guys were are as good as it'll ever get. What a privilege for us all.
Edit:.... The groove on this is insane. That bass line is awesome and Benny's piano is sublime.

Unless you lived through the ABBA era it's impossible to articulate just how successful they were worldwide. They had the whole world under their spell. No other band has ever done it globally so successfully since.

[ChimwemweNtonya-wo]

Listening in here in June 2025 from Africa in Malawi (where Madonna adopted those four children).
Beautiful music! Beautiful melodies. Am in my late 50s and grew up listening to their songs. God bless!

[davidward]

True talent rarely encountered today, sadly. I’m almost in tears.

[jamesstrutz]

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ABBA !!!! TOO BAD WE ALL COULDN'T HAVE STAYED YOUNG FOREVER MANY GOOD TIMES BACK THEN

[RobHBS]

what a live-sound, the strings, the bass, the piano, the drums - and those voices, pure magic

[johnos]

So many songs for this era make us feel good!
